I was glad to see that someone working at a federal lab made it into MIT Technology Review’s 2006 Young Innovators list. Christina Galitsky, from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was also selected as the Humanitarian of the Year for her work in designing workable, energy-efficient cookstoves to Sudanese refugees in South Darfur. From her bio at the lab:

Current research focuses on sustainable development projects in developing countries such as the development of a cost effective remediation technology to remove arsenic from drinking waters in Bangladesh as well as the US, developing a fuel efficient cookstove program in Darfur, Sudan, and development of energy efficiency and benchmarking tools for China. Other research includes identifying and assessing opportunities for greenhouse gas emissions reductions in several industrial sectors, developing user-interfaced tools for estimating energy use and efficiency potentials, and providing technical support for several programs.
